Jacob - June 27, 2016

Hey everyone, it was good to hear from you all. Apologies for writing
a group email this week. But I don't have a lot of time before sport
time begins. I got a get my b-ball on. But this week went by pretty
good. We still weren't able to have a ton of lessons, but we were able
to see an awesome blessing. So even though our numbers hasn't been
great, we were able to finally teach Juan yesterday after church (the
guy who has been coming the past 3 weeks.) it was sweet, he kind of
dropped out of the sky. But he has a date for the 17th next month so
hopefully that'll happen. Also I had a crazy exchange Saturday with
elder Castillo this past Saturday. We were teaching a lesson with this
guy named Roberto, when all of a sudden in the middle of the prayer
his crazy sister came out and sprayed him with a hose and then turned
it on me... Probably my most crazy experience yet in the mission. But
it was a refreshing ride home (on bike). Um that's mostly what comes
to mind for this week. But I love you all and hope you have a great
week.

Hey mom, I'll make this one a quick email since I wrote one to you
all. But a few weeks ago I thought of a super cool thought. I know you
love math so my comp and I made a math equation for how the attributes
of Christ work. (At least in my mind.) so an exponential equation
starts out super small, like .0000000000047 or something like that,
but as it goes down the graph it slowly becomes bigger until it shoots
right? So I like to think our earth life is those beginning moments.
We might not see the progress as clear as day, but when we die and are
later resurrected we begin to see the signs and when we are exalted it
just shoots! I'm not sure if it's exactly how it works, but it's a
cool way to look at it. Also the idea came because it seems that if
you increase one attribute of Christ, another will increase too until
it goes around in a circle to the one that started. Idk it's a cool
thought, we also had the idea of how black holes are like a visual
representation of sons of perdition. That one was interesting too, but
I'll try and have some more spiritual ideas as I write you. Right now
I'm reading the New Testament and so far it's great. I'll probably
finish the gospel of Mathew tomorrow. But I love you mom, you're
awesome!
